November 20 is National Absurdity Day. To mark it, we should celebrate all that is unreasonable, illogical or inappropriate.

This Friday is Veterans Day. And we need it. No matter how divided the country has been, at least we can all celebrate the sacrifices of those who served our country. The NFL has never been shy about saluting service. The Chiefs are on the road, though, meeting Cam Newton’s Panthers in Carolina. In the…

Thursday is National Sandwich Day. Which is good. With the election on Tuesday, the country needs to come together, and sandwiches should do the trick. Whatever your politics, after all, there isn’t a man, woman or child who doesn’t enjoy a tasty sandwich. In between bites, though, make sure to spend some time seeing what…
